Warm medicine emits fragrance

Fan Liuer's face darkened, and she picked up the gauze that had just been removed and walked towards Li Chenbi.

Seeing her aggressive demeanor, Li Chenbi sensed something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do!"

With lightning speed, Fan Liuer reached out and pinched Li Chenbi's cheek, stuffing the gauze into his mouth.

"You talk too much!" she said fiercely.

Li Chenbi never expected Fan Liuer to be so bold as to treat him like this!

He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. He turned his head away from Fan Liuer's hand, spat out the gauze from his mouth, and his mouth still had the mixed taste of blood and medicine powder mixed with the gauze, which made him frown.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Fan Liuer finally felt relieved and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha"

She had finally waited for this day; it was a scene she had never dared to dream of before!

It felt so good!

Li Chenbi was initially furious, and the words of reprimand were on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw Fan Liuer's smiling eyes, his anger dissipated.

He had seen Fan Liuer smile many times—fawning, ingratiating, shy, bashful, whether genuine or not.

This is the first time I've laughed so heartily.

He looked at Fan Liuer, and at the flesh puffing up on her cheeks because of her exaggerated expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up as well.

Realizing this, he suppressed his laughter, feigning a cold expression, and said, "Is it funny?"

Fan Liuer knew she couldn't be too smug. If she became too proud now, she would probably have to pay back double once Li Chenbi regained his memories.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little melancholy.

If only Li Chenbi never regains his memory, she'd be happy. She's rich now and could easily support him.

That way, she could lord it over Li Chenbi for the rest of her life.

Li Chenbi frowned as he watched the smile fade from her face. "Why did you stop smiling again?"

Fan Liuer pouted, "You're really hard to please. You can't smile, and you can't not smile."

Li Chenbi looked at her but didn't reply.

Fan Liuer thought of something, plopped down on the bamboo bed, and looked at him.

"Li Dazhu".

Li Chenbi: "..."

Extremely reluctant, he gave a vague reply, "Mmm."

"Hypothetically speaking, I mean hypothetically," Fan Liuer asked him, "hypothetically speaking, if you had a chance to make a comeback in the future, would you seize it?"

Li Chenbi wasn't sure what Fan Liuer meant by asking that question, so he didn't answer but instead asked, "Why are you asking that?"

"Haha, it's just... just asking casually," Fan Liuer replied with a dry laugh.

"Your family used to be quite wealthy, but you squandered it all due to your poor management, and eventually had to sell yourself."

Li Chenbi's expression darkened slightly.

He squandered his family fortune due to poor management.

Hmph, that Fan Liuer, she never tells a single truth.

"I think you're not cut out for business, and you're also bad at dealing with people. You've made too many enemies. If you really have a chance to make a comeback, you'd better not seize it."

Li Chenbi's face grew even darker.

He's not cut out for business.

Is he bad at handling interpersonal relationships?

Ha! That's utterly absurd!

At this point, Fan Liuer raised her hand and patted Li Chenbi's arm, speaking earnestly: "Actually, the best life is one of simplicity and ordinariness. As long as you have enough to eat and wear, that's enough. What do you think?"

Li Chenbi understood what this meant and stared at Fan Liuer.

Fan Liuer felt uncomfortable under his gaze, touched her face, and said, "Why are you looking at me like that!"

"You can't bear to see me go," Li Chenbi concluded.

This time, Fan Liuer didn't lie and directly admitted, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Li Chenbi frowned.

He subconsciously realized that Fan Liuer was deceiving him again, just like when he was at the Li residence.

Why are you reluctant to part with me? You just told me to leave.

Fan Liuer smiled awkwardly, "That was just something said in anger, why take it so seriously?"

After saying that, she added, "After all, it's not easy to find someone as handsome as you. Although you have a bad temper and aren't very obedient, I'm a very magnanimous person and won't hold it against you."

"So don't even think about making a comeback, just stay here with me."

Li Chenbi was now certain that Fan Liuer was lying to him. If she only cared about his looks, she wouldn't have run away in the first place, so why would she want to keep him here now just because of his looks?

It couldn't be because of money; he has no money at all given his current status.

What else could it be?

What could Fan Liuer possibly gain from him?

After thinking it over, her eyes lowered and fell on herself.

His body.

Fan Liuer had a hard time in the winter. Now that she had left the Li family, she would no longer be able to spend huge sums of money to heat the house in the winter like the Li family did.

So she needs a man to warm her bed.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Li Chenbi felt conflicted.

On one hand, he was angry that Fan Liuer only cared about his health.

On the other hand, he was also relieved, relieved that Fan Liuer only cared about his health.

His eyes swept over Fan Liuer's face, and he said, "Then I'll ask you a question too."

Having learned from his previous experience, Fan Liuer immediately reminded him, "Don't ask random questions, or I will refuse to answer."

"If I suddenly became rich again, would you be willing to leave this place with me?"

Without a second thought, Fan Liuer blurted out, "Of course not!"

Li Chenbi narrowed his eyes, suppressing his anger, "Why?"

He wanted to know the real reason why Fan Liuer left him.

Fan Liuer: "This is my home. Even if you stay, I will still be the head of the family. I'm in charge here, and you have to listen to me."

"But it's different if I go with you. Then our roles will be reversed, and I'll have to listen to you."

Li Chenbi gave her a deep look. "Is that all?"

"It seems like there's only one reason, but there are many problems that stem from this one reason, such as..." She counted on her fingers.

"If I go with you, what will I do if you get tired of me and kick me out? I have no relatives or friends, no one to support me."

"Even if you don't kick me out, what if you start seeing one woman after another, and those women gang up on me?"

"Also, I'm in charge of my own household, I control all the money, and I make the decisions myself. But if I follow you, I'll have to live a life where I have to beg for my money."

As Li Chenbi listened to Fan Liuer list out the reasons, he finally understood the real reason why Fan Liuer left him.

He suddenly felt powerless and could only sigh deeply.

He had assumed that Fan Liuer had left him for some serious reason, but he never expected it was because of her own speculations.

"What if I told you that none of these things you're worried about will happen? Would you still not be happy then?"

Fan Liuer shook her head again, "I don't want to."

Why?

Fan Liuer looked at Li Chenbi and said seriously, "Because I don't trust you."

"I don't believe that a person can remain faithful throughout their entire life."
